The mayor pointed out that one of the topics of conversation and the signed Agreement on Cooperation between the two cities is certainly the improvement of cultural cooperation.

The cooperation of experts from the National Museum in Belgrade and the Hermitage Museum has been agreed, while the ultimate goal is to set up exhibitions with exhibits from this largest, but also other Petrograd museums for the citizens of Belgrade – Radojicic announced.
Radojicic pointed out that the multi-day stay of the governor of St. Petersburg is very important for Belgrade.

Radojicic reminded that the third day of the visit of the high delegation of St. Petersburg was meaningful.
